Thanks for the tips Goki. I'm surprised that many don't offer trial lessons these days. Back when I was training, my instructor wasn't even fussed if we paid him 6 months late.

I know of a parent from her school that teaches a class at his home. I think I might take her to give that a try. She's a fairly shy little girl and going to a class with 10 or more students might scare her off. From what I have heard, he keeps his classes fairly small as he doesn't advertise.
